Okay so, you tried to treat people who didn’t want to be treated? And then were surprised when they didn’t act on their results? (I’m genuinely asking if this is what happened)
(This happens to be very interesting and important to me! I will probably use this post as an example in a future post about applying «boundaries» socially & practically.)
Participants represented themselves as wanting treatment. It turns out many did not want treatment enough to go through the effort to get it. I was surprised by the extent of this phenomenon but not its existence, which is why “do people get treatment?” was the experimental question in the first place.

What an asshole way to ask that question.
